Lyft Off in Cleveland

The home of Sherwin Williams is about to be painted pink — this weekend, Lyft launches in Cleveland!

We think #ThisIsCLE and #lyftlove go together like rock and roll. Cleveland already has a strong sense of community and hometown pride, making it an ideal city for a ridesharing service where passengers sit in the front seat and chat with their friendly local driver. Among the founding Cleveland drivers, you could meet a chef, a social worker, an ultramarathon runner, a great grandmother and several teachers.

Lyft makes it even easier to hop between hot neighborhoods like Tremont, Ohio City and Downtown on a night out. One tap on your phone can get you a safe, reliable and affordable ride to Cleveland’s best restaurants and bars, Indians games, summertime festivals and back home again.

During launch weekend, Lyft will be matching donations from each ride to support the Greater Cleveland Food Bank's "Backpacks for Kids" program, an organization selected by members of the local Lyft community. Plus, the Lyft Pioneer program gives all new users two weeks of free rides. We hope to see lots of Clevelanders hitting the road in a Lyft this weekend!
